tbh I didn't want to play in the normal bracket because it'd be hard to decide what to use for pokemon restrictions like these, but if it's a major tournament like this, I decided to offer to be a sub, since in a 128-man double elimination tournament, believe me, there is BOUND to be at least 1 battle that doesn't finish in Round 1, and a winner is decided based on activity.

For the first round, if after a quite long period of time the battle has not been held, a sub is made for the less active of the players.

Later on, there are cutoffs. If a large number of people have not battled by the cutoff the cutoff is extended slightly. If only a few battles are holding the tournament up, then whoever is online at the cutoff wins. If neither shows up I get to pick a battler of my choice. Unless I feel that one person is purposely avoiding battle, I use random.org
